MOTM

Could someone give me some ideas on the usage of the Sub octave mutiplier (120)
?
Also, I have been experimenting with the ring modulator without much success ,
am I missing something ?
Also I have a spare Nuetrik patch bay around, any uses for this in the modular
rack ?
Thx
Jim

hello all,

well, one of my favourites is to stick a sine wave from your VCO into input
A, set it to CROSS mode, and put a multiple of your gate into the B input -
loverley as they say...
a bit bored with wimpy old white noise..? why not make a real mess, by
sticking thru your #120 in SUB mode...
don't expect much from sticking a drum loop through it though...

i still have problems with my ring mod, but that's probably because i STILL
don't know how it works
the MOTM one isn't quite so plug and play as say the moogerfooger, as
there's a careful balance of signals to be made
(also not having the two VCOs yet doesn't help  - hint hint)

a million and one uses for sure - you could use a couple (or in my case,
eight) of jacks to make permanent lines to your console, fx etc, and of
course you could make a big heap of multiples

here's a copy of a message I just posted to AH:

I made a little diddy on my motm modular just for fun... it makes a cool
little demo of what can be done with just 3 or 4 modules.

here's the neat part:  I use no oscillators or sequencers!

it's got 4 parts (all produced my one module) all with 4 different rhythms.

here's what I did:

motm 440 filter, self oscillating at a very low frequency (cheater
oscillator) into
the motm 120 suboctave mux (someone was asking for ideas on this I think..).
I have an LFO
going into the 120, cross modulating the input signal.  This creates 4
different rhythms
through each of the 4 suboctaves.

the only other thing in there is a kick drum & single hihat.  all the rest
is motm with absolutely no sequencing.

The track doesn't really stand on it's own as a song, but makes a pretty
cool demo of the motm

you can hear it on www.mp3.com/puffboy   the track is called (surprisingly
enough) "MOTM madness"

take care,
paul

You MUST use giant signals, like 6 to 10V pk-pk. Simply plugging a synth
output
into it WILL NOT WORK. Use the Effects Send of a mixer to boost external
signals.

Also, the best results are with one input a Sine or Triangle. Using 2
complex inputs
just makes mush.
